Earlier this week, we got confirmation that Le Caprice is coming back to London as Richard Caring revealed more details about the restaurant's relaunch at the upcoming Chancery Rosewood hotel in Mayfair.
Now we have more news about the other restaurant that was rumoured to be opening at the hotel. Yes, Carbone is definitely coming to London. Recently submitted planning information shows that the famous New York restaurant will be the second restaurant to open in the Chancery Rosewood next year. If that name doesn't mean much to you then know that the New York original, which opened in 2013, has long been a hit in the Big Apple for its take on New York Italian food and its celebrity clientele. It's also very hard to get into (as we discovered on our recent New York trip).
With Le Caprice taking up the southeastern corner of the building, Carbone will be on the northeast corner - so you'll have two very big hitters at the front of the hotel. For Carbone, there's a large terrace on the ground floor and a small bar space, but the main restaurant is in the basement. Down there is a fairly massive restaurant, where you'll find lots of booth seating, at least one private dining room and another bar.
That's all we can find out so far. Given the glitziness of the Chancery Rosewood, we imagine that this London outpost will perhaps have more in common with the Carbones in Miami and Las Vegas than the original in New York. And as for their food, it's a full-on Italian American affair, with dishes like lobster ravioli, veal marsala and lots of grilled meat and fish on the menu. We'll have to wait a little to find out just what the London offering is - as soon as we know more, we'll let you know.
